Luke 5:16 KJV
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Though the crowds of people pressed upon the Lord and Jesus did preach and teach and heal them, Christ also withdrew himself from them frequently.
The man who would minister to men has to realize that he also is a man and must be ministered to. It is an error to believe that we cannot be done without long enough to withdraw and be spiritually refreshed.
Jesus withdrew and prayed. It does not say He withdrew to pray, that would be with the intention of praying. No, He withdrew and actually prayed. The ministry we must have is the ministry of the Lord toward us and that is met in communion with Him.
